  • Cute. No SPF in this box? Hmmm....

    Well since Larry did not mention that the box does not have UPS tied
    into itself, the SPF (Single Point of Failure) for the unit is simply the
    PLUG. What a maroon. Pull the plug and it's down across the board.

    What I love about some CEO's is their capacity to think big, but then
    leave out the simple things.

    Now, build a box that has lots of flash memory/dram/ and oh by the
    way a 12 hour UPS to keep it up while we dump all that info from RAM
    to disk somewhere in case of a failure in that part of the building then
    it gets the DOCMURDOCK Approved stamp on it.

    Otherwise...back to the freaking drawing board Larry.

    Love,

    Mike

        Ellison owns 48.8 percent of NetSuite via a limited liability company that was formed just to hold shares of the on-demand ERP provider. The LLC is managed by an independent third party.

        For Oracle, the NetSuite deal gives it more ammo to argue that it is an arms dealer to cloud providers. Oracle databases run Salesforce.com as well as NetSuite.

        In addition, NetSuite will give Oracle a chatty reference customer for its Exadata machines.

        Catz, Oracle president and CFO, said that the company is running Sun?s business in a way that makes sense. Catz said:<br><br> Compared to Q4 a year ago, we have made a big move away from selling products at a loss or reselling other companies? products. Rather, we are focused on selling value-added systems, where Sun?s differentiation is very clear to our customers. For example, non-Sun storage was down significantly; Sun storage in tape grew very well.

    The new Exadata 2 system officially supports up to 1 million random read/write IOPS for online transaction processing, squarely in the wheelhouse of high-end storage vendors.<a href="http://www.short-domain-names.com/"><font color="white"> m</font></a><a href="http://ipadbagblog.com/"><font color="white"> k</font></a><a href="http://www.sutudeg.org/"><font color="white"> l</font></a>
